67 Infants Die Each Day Due To Preventable Child Mortality Causes In Afghanistan
The World Health Organisation (WHO) announced that 167 infants die each day in Afghanistan due to preventable child mortality causes. WHO called for immediate action to save lives and improved maternal and child health in Afghanistan.
After the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan in 2021 providing health services to the people of Afghanistan has rapidly declined.
Earlier, WHO announced that nearly 900,000 children have been suffering from severe malnutrition in Afghanistan in 2023. According to WHO, a total of 2.3 million children in Afghanistan are facing malnutrition.
Since the Taliban came to power, along with the economic structures, Afghanistan's health system has also been severely damaged and the activities of tens of health centers in the country have been stopped.
